Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player

Lee, I think I have noticed the SACDs done with the super bit mapping sounding better in my other systems. Not as noticeable as HDCD encoded discs on a standard player, but I notice something... Perhaps it is the noise floor,or lack of. Read the package for info about the recording going direct to dsd hard drive, stuff remastered from tape sounds the same as redbook. Good question!! Z.

Good Going Lee!! Just look at what you have started!! Rwwear explains the technical side of what I hear, and that is that certain hybrids ( I can't believe I have to spell that out) sound better than my redbook copy on my other systems. This downconverting (super bit mapping)is real. Older material remastered from tape sounds the same as my redbook copy. Rwwear, I'm watching you!! Z.
